Hurrican katrina: We should have reponded better

[RedStratocas]

The response from this storm is the absolute worst responce to anything I have ever seen. The riots, violence, looting, and even shooting at rescue copters. Americans ourselves arent helping much eaither. When the tsunami hit, people donated, and helped within hours. When this hurricane was over, we turned away, and this is our country. Even our government has stalled to help, and luisianna, usually a republican state, is turning and starting to hate George Bush, and who can blame them? They havent done anything. How come we can send helicopters, thousands of troops, and billions of dollars for a war, but we cant help those people who are suffering and dying in our own country. Its rediculous. Im not anywhere nearby, but my parents have donated some (my school might do a drive soon) but I dont think we have enough. Why not? We have all the supplies, why cant we get it there? Im angry at this as you can see.

What do you think?

AGREED, people just cant wait of course there will be looting and volience. its because people have no paintents, if people didnt do it and let the army and others help this would be done extremely quicker. but i dont blame them on one point they're completly desprate and would do anything to get through this but attacking the help? that is complete bull.....

I can understand looting for food, its their only hope, but people steal clothings ect. I can understand frustration, but shooting at helicopters wont help at all.

But patients has run out. We should be able to help more by now. We have litterally barely done anything.

This Is Just Horrible Im In North Carolina and im being affected by Gas Prices Sky Rocketing and Like Red said all the people shooting at Copters We cant help them because there shooting at us as i told my friends we need to get down there and help them dont worry about them shooting just shoot them back. We NEED to help them people is dying every day! And we should have been prepared for this! They said the Superdome Was Gonna be a safe place! Dead bodies everywhere inside it. My Dad is part of the rescue team i went down there with him and The whole dome is filled with Dead Bodies. The streets have Dead Children, Toddlers and NEW Borns! THIS HAS TO END! They need our help and I and the whole rescue team plans on Doing That

Thanks,
Kevin

Its disgusting. George Bush was on bloody holiday for most of it! It's sick. If that was Los angelos he would care more because its full of rich, white people. New Orleans has a large population of poor blacks. The people George Bush stopped from voting as he knew he wouldn't get there vote. He's putting a price on peoples lives and it seems to me that the price of the poor people in New Orleans isn't very high. Half his troops r in Iraq fighting about oil. Money, that's all he cares about. And now he expects Britain to help! What help did he give us in the London bombings? We have our own troubles and our troubles still aint over yet. RIP to all the poor souls who have died at the hands of Hurricane Katriana!
Also if you havnt figured it out, his lack of help is making him money... Oil prices have gone up once again! George Bush doesn't care about the people in his country! Only the money.

Errrr...Im US and i agree with u spank.He should have helped you with the bombings. He shouldn't have asked the UK to help. He probably doesn't care about New Orlands but those poor people are dying out there!
